Tell the app what's on your shelf. It shows every drink you can make right now, which bottle works best for each recipe and how close you are to the ones you're short an ingredient for. The bar cabinet covers 6,000+ bottles and knows the difference between Appleton Estate and Smith & Cross, between an Amontillado and an Oloroso. 508 recipes with exact measurements, technique, garnish and images. Classics like Old Fashioned, Daiquiri and Negroni alongside a wide tiki collection and modern drinks. 215 of them come with background stories about origins, creators and how the recipe came to be. Create drink menus and share them as a link or print them for the table. Scan an unknown bottle with the camera and the app identifies it. Photograph a recipe from a book or website and the AI reads it and adds it to your collection. Every drink shows estimated alcohol content based on ingredients and dilution. Scale any recipe up to as many servings as you need. Favourites, your own recipes and notes sync automatically via iCloud.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Kaffeappen at none against Drinkkompassen's 2. Kaffeappen also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). Drinkkompassen's advantage is update cadence (every 6 days vs every 5 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
